Chapter 198 Laughter

Richard's opponent, Anthony, was also very helpless.

His opponent actually possessed an advanced defensive equipment. The knight before him relied on the advanced shield to defend against his attacks time and time again and defeated him.

Am I going to fail again?

No, I came to Dover Province because I had no hope of qualifying in the original Eli Province. I spent a lot of gold coins to find out that the contestants in Dover Province this time were the weakest.

If I can't qualify even with this, doesn't that mean I'm not qualified at all?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Anthony's expression was ferocious. Having been accepted as a disciple by a legendary master since childhood, he could not accept this fact.

While in stealth mode, Anthony took out a bottle of magic potion from his space equipment. This magic potion could increase Anthony's speed, strength and fighting spirit by one level. The price was that he would be weak for a while after the effect of the potion wore off.

Originally, it was the magic potion that Anthony's master gave to Anthony to save his life, but seeing that he was about to lose the game again, Anthony no longer cared about it.

He opened the medicine and swallowed it directly.

Suddenly, Anthony could feel the fighting spirit in his body starting to become violent, and his strength and speed increased to the level of an eighth-level assassin.

Although Richard could use his spiritual power to sense Anthony's direction, he could not see what actions he took. He could only feel that Anthony's aura suddenly rose to a higher level.

"A breakthrough on the battlefield?"

"It's unlikely. If you really have this ability, wouldn't you be able to better adapt to your own strength after breaking through below the ring and then coming up?"

Anthony smiled grimly. Thanks to the effect of the magic potion, he was now almost equivalent to an eighth-level assassin.

Looking at Richard hiding in the ice crystal hell, Anthony activated his intermediate armor and a defensive shield protected Anthony.

The invisible Anthony rushed towards Richard, twice as fast as before.

Richard also immediately noticed Anthony's movements, and quickly used advanced mental whipping to attack Anthony.

"Sure enough, it can sense my location."

Anthony was no fool. He had just been tricked by Richard, and the lethality of Richard's mental scream was unexpectedly great. It must be that the mental power of this seventh-level wizard was superior to his own.

"Advanced fighting skill, Shadow Escape."

Anthony once again used his space-based fighting skills to directly avoid Richard's advanced mental whipping, and this time Anthony's teleportation distance was twice as far as before, a full thirty meters away.

Coupled with Anthony's explosive speed, he rushed directly in front of Richard.

"Advanced fighting skill, Arc Light Shadow Kill."

A dagger in Anthony's hand flashed an arc of light and slashed towards Richard's neck, while the other dagger disappeared into the darkness, invisible at all, but even more dangerous.

This was Master Anthony's signature fighting skill. He once used Arc Light Shadow Kill to kill a warrior of the same level. When Anthony used it now, he also had some of his master's power.

"Cang! Cang!"

Two sounds of hard objects colliding were heard. The hard armor on Richard's body came from a level nine magical beast, so it was naturally not easy to break through, but Richard still flew backwards.

Anthony's strength has reached the eighth level. Even if the hard armor blocked Anthony's fighting skills, it could not withstand Anthony's strength.

Although Anthony was surprised at the high defense of Richard's equipment, he still chased in the direction where Richard flew backwards.

At this moment, Anthony felt that the equipment on his body was suddenly controlled, and the equipment was thrown to the ground by his own force.

In the brief contact just now, Richard had already controlled the equipment on Anthony through his mental threads.

In fact, Richard could also directly control his opponent, but on the one hand, Richard could only control professionals at level six or below, and on the other hand, the contestants in the duel competition were either rich or noble, and if he controlled them, he would be making a great enemy.

Seeing Anthony fall to the ground, Richard no longer concealed his mental strength. His ninth-level mental strength was fully displayed, and he sent a high-level mental whip towards the fallen Anthony.

Anthony wanted to use Shadow Escape to dodge, but was affected by the equipment on his body, which interrupted Anthony's Shadow Escape.

"Can it actually interrupt a high-level fighting technique?"

Several contestants who were paying attention to Anthony were very surprised. This was not something that ordinary people could do, unless they had a very good understanding of space.

However, Richard has also studied space magic for some time. In terms of understanding of space, Richard is naturally far superior to Anthony, who only knows how to use fighting skills.

The advanced mental whipping hit Anthony hard.

The ninth level of spiritual power bonus dealt a severe blow to Anthony's spiritual power. He screamed, bled from all seven orifices and passed out.

The legendary assassin's apprentice was defeated miserably by Richard.

The referee quickly announced that Richard had won the duel, and immediately called a senior wizard with healing magic to the stage to check Anthony's injuries.

"The mental strength has been severely damaged. If you don't take mental healing medicine in a short period of time, you won't be able to recover."

The senior healing wizard said to the legendary referee, and then as if sensing something, he added: "It seems that contestant Anthony took a magic potion that enhanced his fighting spirit during the duel. Now his mental strength has been severely damaged, and his fighting spirit has begun to run wild."

"I have temporarily stabilized Anthony's injuries, but his meridians have been messed up by the violent fighting spirit. Unless there is a legendary healing wizard or a legendary healing potion, he can only spend this period of time in bed."

"What? He actually took a magic potion that increases fighting spirit."

Just now, Anthony took the magic potion while in invisible state. No one present saw the process of him taking the potion. They just thought that he used some fighting skills to stimulate his strength.

"He is just a coward who didn't even dare to participate in the competition in the Province of Eli. He dares to look down on people from our Province of Dover. Now he is asking for trouble!"

Toby from the Dover family laughed loudly. As a member of the Dover family, he could naturally obtain Anthony's information.

Moreover, he did not have to worry about the retaliation from Anthony's legendary and powerful master, so he dared to laugh at Anthony in public.

Although the others did not say it directly, their inner thoughts were similar to Toby's.

Anthony wanted to use his connections to join the preliminary round of Dover Province, which in itself showed his lack of confidence in his own abilities.

As the apprentice of a legendary assassin, Anthony was an absolute weakling. He didn't even dare to challenge his opponent in Eli Province head-on. Now he was defeated by an opponent in Dover Province, an unknown opponent at that. This really became a joke.
